Over the past weekend Lamarr Houston of the Chicago Bears tore his ACL while celebrating a sack on backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Whats worse was that the sack came with 3 minutes and 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter when the bears were down by 25 points. Is a sack even worth celebrating at that point? In fact, is there even anything at that point worth celebrating? Finish your job and get off the field. What a bone headed move.
This reminds me of a
similar play when Bill Gramatica of the Arizona Cardinals tore his ACL after
hitting a 43 yard field goal in the first quarter.
Maybe these guys should stop
worrying so much about celebrating and concentrate on doing something
meaningful for their team when it counts.
